St. Clement Shrine’s Young Adults

This group meets Mondays at 7 pm (in the UpperRoom) to listen to the readings of the Mass and discuss how to apply the message in daily life. Some of the insights are truly inspiring! Come as often as you choose. There is no commitment. All young adults are invited! Join the Yahoo group mailing list to stay in touch.

Back Bay Mobile Soup Kitchen

BBMSK (“Bumsk”) is a group of young adults who minister to the homeless on the streets of Back Bay. They take sandwiches, fruit, socks, and Rosaries to distribute, and take time to listen to the stories of the men and women they encounter. Pope Francis has exhorted us not to adopt a “throw-away” culture that neglects people’s basic human need, and this is an answer to that call. The group meets Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 6:00 pm on the front steps of the Shrine. Come whenever you are able. Get in touch with the group at bbmsk.org.

Pure in Heart Young Adults

Pure in Heart is a young adult Catholic community in the greater Boston area. We hold Mass every week at 7 pm, preceded by optional rosary and confession. We end the night with a talk and reading of St. John Paul II’s audiences on Theology of the Body and, afterward, go out to a local restaurant/pub! The Franciscans of the Primitive Observance serve as our spiritual guides and help lead our community in faith. If you would like to be added to the Pure in Heart mailing list, please email info@pureinheartamerica.org with the subject line SUBSCRIBE.

Music at the Shrine

We are looking for volunteers with any level of singing experience to join a choir that will provide music for worship at the 8 pm Mass every Sunday. The choir will focus on traditional music in the Christian tradition from all periods. We will rehearse Tuesday nights 7-9 pm at St. Clement and have a warm-up before the mass. Also, volunteer singers are most welcome to join the 11am Mass cantor to lead hymns. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact the Choir Director, Brett Kostrzewski (refer to a recent bulletin).
